Hi, Miss Snark,
I was wondering if you would be turned off by main characters with peculiar names that are easy to pronounce.
Thanks
Elvis Cole
Jack Reacher
Jane Doe
I've give my left ..um...stiletto to have found THOSE character's creators.

How about Tuesday Next?
I love that name.
Peculiar and easy to prononounce are not necessarily related.
Cutting the apostrophes and odd characters in the name helps.
How about Tuesday Next?
Are you sure you don't mean Thursday Next?
All of Jasper Fforde's characters' names have something wonderful about them.
I managed to stop a neo from inflicting her Aragorn-crossed with-James-Bond-style fantasy hero with the name, "Mongo." Jane Goodall does not give her beloved chimps such circus-like monikers.
I did read a book with a "Gloria Munday" in it. That was in the 60's, and a lot of strange things happened then.
Well, what if the name wasn't really a name for a person, but it was the name of a place or food or something? It was a word most people knew, but it was confusing to see it because it wasn't a name.
e.g.: "I don't want to go," said Michigan.
Hal Spacejock. Try THAT one on google ;-)
I'm glad I'm not the only one who mixed us Thursday's name.
